Advance Relocation Systems is a leading provider of specialized relocation and logistics solutions in the fine arts industry, providing end-to-end services for galleries, museums and private collectors. 2025 marked the 23rd year that we successfully managed the transportation of artwork for one of the most distinguished events — Art Basel Miami Beach. Our expert handling made sure that high-value pieces were delivered with care, safety and efficiency, underscoring our team’s commitment to providing exceptional moving services across the world.

Art Basel attracts almost 300 top galleries, collectors and artists from around the world and is a key event in the international art calendar. We were selected as the official logistics partner for the Miami Beach edition, entrusted with supervising the transportation of hundreds of valuable pieces of contemporary art. From delicate sculptures to captivating artwork, the project had to be planned and executed carefully.

Behind-The-Scenes Logistic Support From ARS

“ARS has been Art Basel Miami’s trusted partner for 20+ years and has been involved in the management of the event since year one (2002). We coordinate the shipping from various origins in the United States and transport them down to Miami Beach. Most of the origins are California, Texas, Illinois and New York. However, there are others that are scattered throughout the country, so it takes quite a lot of logistical work within ARS to coordinate everything and get all the trucks in place at the right time. We utilize a large number of trucks and other carriers to cover the shipments”. — David Hillemann, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Advance Relocation Systems

Each year has its own challenges, and this one was no different — from unpredictable volumes to shifting gallery participation. Our team stayed onsite to oversee every unload and reload, responding immediately to anything that needed attention. Drawing on decades of experience, we anticipated changes, adjusted our trucks, and landed exactly where we needed to be. Managed by David, with Dalton and Charlene on inbound, and Ariadna joining outbound, we delivered another seamless year.

Advance Relocation Systems’ team handled the transportation of artwork from various locations worldwide. Utilizing our state-of-the-art equipment, specialized climate-controlled trucks and temperature-regulated 62,000 square foot storage facility, we ensured that each piece arrived on site in pristine condition, ready for display.
